Ship's crew shoot Somali pirates

[matefrio]

Seems to work well...

Can you say "chumming the water"?

So would this event fall under Castle Doctrine or Stand your Ground?

I'm guessing it falls under "Kiss my a$$, we're in international waters and you're trying to board me".

Great vid.

Seems to be quite effective! Good for them! .50 cal. would have been nice to have on the ship also.

That video needs to go viral.

 

[SWJewellTN]

It's about time someone did that!

 

[austinbirdnut]

Since they were shooting from the ships forecastle, it would fall under Castle Doctrine.

Someone finally made a good decision on one of those ships. I guess they are using .223 rifles because if they accidentally sink a combatant skiff, they would be required under maritime law to render assistance... Ahrrrr.

Isn't amazing what two people with AR-15's can do? The ship would have been ransomed for a LOT of money. It looks like they did a good job sandbagging the firing position against return fire.

Thats how you take care of business. Their Warning shots are kill shots as intended. Great job

I dont understand why folks weren't doing this before. I wouldnt be unarmed for 10 seconds sailing the ocean hauling millions in cargo. Those pirates are a bunch of pussies. They kill and rob innocent merchants, but as soon as somebody starts shooting at them with small caliber rifle they retreat. Typical criminal activity.

outstanding job to the 2 members of the fire team.atriot:

Pirating would be pretty rare if it went like this every time.

Cool video.

 

[Kyle]

This made me happy. Thank you for posting it.

It's good to see companys taking care of business.

There was a company a few years ago that were trying to hire prior military guys to put on commercial vessels for that purpose but found out it was in violation of international agreements. Ill look and see if i can find that info.

Looks just like an old Fobus poly quad rail system I used to own. Could be wrong, but it looks just like it.

Yet another example of what excellent results the rejection of wimpification can achieve. "Oh, my God!!! Small bands of pirates are attacking big ships in small boats!! What shall we do?!! What shall we do?!!??"

SHOOT THE MUTHERF%^&*#S, YOU DUMB S^&%!

Seems to work like a charm, doesn't it?

This ^

Doesn't require private security either. Anyone with half a brain and an AR could have done this

They did it with class though
